RE: UAMS Expansion Commitments
Dear Mr. Dalton:
M 1=1
M
226
This letter is to set forth the additional understandings
and information we have submitted which you requested as
part of the alley and 4th Street closure application for the
UAMS research facility. The following are the understand-
ings and assurances:
1. The current UAMS Campus Facilities Plan envisions the
location of the Biomedical Research Center between Elm
and Cedar Streets as one of the last major planned
eastward expansions of the UAMS currently to be under-
taken within the corridor bounded by Cedar and Elm
Streets. The plan also notes that expansion of
outpatient activities may be locted between Cedar and
Elm and 5th and 6th Streets. There are, however, no
current plans actively underway for such a facility.
You are also aware that the block south of the research
facility has been mentioned as a possible site for a
parking deck.
2. The current UAMS Campus Facilities Plan envisions some
acquisition north of Markham which would be limited to
office support facilities. No major research or major
medical facilities currently are planned north of
Markham.
3. The construction of the Biomedical Research Center will
be constructed in conformance with the Wittenberg,
Delony & Davidson site plan dated March 26, 1990, and
reviewed by the Planning Commission of the City of
Little Rock.
4. The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas at
its May 4, 1990, meeting has given its assurances that
the Biomedical Research Center's landscaping and
buffering will be installed and maintained in confor-
mance with the Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson landscap-
ing plan dated May3, 1990, and reviewed by the Planning
Commission of the City of Little Rock.

5. The alley (to be partially closed)
will be terminated
north of the proposed Research Center and will not con-
nect to Cedar.
6. It is understood that due to budgetary constraints in
the bidding process, there may be minor architectural
changes to the biomedical building, but no substantial
changes will be made to the landscaping and buffering
plan without first reviewing such changes with the
Planning Director of the City of Little Rock.
The UAMS understands that the City feels that the impact of
the street and alley closures and expansion of the Medical
Center in proximity of the adjoining neighborhoods will be
minimized by the above.
Sincerely,
Harry P. War', M.D.
Chancellor
